So remember Andrea Zuckerman, the high school newspaper editor on Beverly Hills, 90210?

It turns out Gabrielle Carteris, who played Zuckerman in the hit 90s show, is the president of the SAF-AFRTA.

Carteris, now 57, gave an inspiring speech at the 2018 SAG Awards on Sunday, applauding people who have come forward as part of the #MeToo movement, with stories of sexual abuse.

"I am incredibly inspired by the women and men across the country who have shared their truths with such courage and such candor," she said. "Truth is power, and women are stepping into their power."

She continued, "Men and women are the agents of that change. We can and must create an environment in which discrimination, harassment, and abuse are no longer tolerated. Make no mistake, this is not a moment in time. This is a movement and our strength, our strength comes in our unity."

In December 2017, Carteris told Varietythat the Me Too movement is here to stay.

"This movement is not meant to go away and is not just a moment in time," she said. "I actually think this has empowered people who have felt isolated. It doesn’t mean everyone is coming forward. But this really has been a time where the feeling of isolation and abandonment for victims may have been reduced. To be alone in pain in that situation is difficult. I hope that people would feel more able to come forward."

Since her high-profile role on Beverly Hills 90210, Carteris has continued to work in the industry, with many small television roles.

She was elected SAG-AFTRA president in 2016, following the death of then-president Ken Howard.

The actress shares two daughters, Kelsey, 23, and Mollie, with her stockbroker husband Charles Isaacs.
